Oscillococcinum, one of the most common of these quack remedies, typically comes in 200C dilution. A C dilution is a 1/100th dilution, so 200C is 1/(100^200) dilution rate.
Then it is not a "homeopathic" medical but nonsense.
Wait... are you suggesting that some of this bullshit actually isn't complete nonsense?
Why would they sue anyone? It's their system and their terms of service. They can shut down any account they wish, at any time, with very little in the way of justification.
What you are forgetting to take into account is that you get significantly more production, at a higher rate of accuracy with machines.
So it sounds like it saved the company from having to build an additional warehouse with additional staffing and logistics in order to achieve the throughput they needed. That sure sounds like it saved money-spent overall.
In case the software interacts with any server owned by the developer and they want to stop outdated or possibly bugged requests to the server?
Have each connection prefaced by a communications protocol version. Refuse connection to anything not running the correct protocol version.
The developer doesn't want to deal with bug reports and customer service issues from old versions of their software?
Ditto as above.
The developer found a security issue with an old version, and the developer and/or Apple doesn't want to be responsible for people continuing to use it after an update fixes it?
Make a simple and explicit notice that if the user refuses auto-updates, the user is subsequently on their own, and it's up to them to keep track of future security updates and make sure there hasn't been a compromising bug discovered.
Only because no one thought to put some sort of rate limiter on the reset command. If you're continually needing to reset something, clearly there is a serious issue that should warrant a tech or engineer being called out to investigate.
Are you on crack? No pilot I know, and certainly no pilot flying a commercial airliner, would voluntarily take off without knowing what their fuel load was!
There have been airline crashes in the past for exactly that reason.
4) Viruses mutate, and mutations can bring rise to resistance against the existing vaccine. The more people who get the virus, the higher the chance it has to mutate into a new strain.
In order to cleanse the world of the genes of a stupid parent (they're not ignorant, they refuse to learn), you have to eliminate their offspring too. They may well be innocent, but if genetics are decided to be the origin of all decision making, the children are just as tainted.
It goes even further than that. When the virus is allowed to propagate among even a small percentage of the population, there is a chance for that virus to mutate in a manner that renders the vaccine less effective, putting everyone at risk.
The use of a true hybrid drive train (and not the nonsensical "serial hybrid") only makes sense in a tractor trailer because you need high sustained power output, and a hybrid helps keep weight and cost down by not requiring the use of an additional huge generator tied to the powerful engine. Hybrid race cars make sense for the same reason. Consumer vehicles have no such sustained power requirement, and thus do not make sense.
These days, the only reason to stick with AC transmission is due to the legacy install base.
You'd still want AC in the home though as its safer.
And yet, it isn't. For a given RMS voltage, AC is ever so slightly more dangerous, due to its higher peak, meaning it needs more insulation. Your muscles don't care about polarity, and 50/60Hz leaves too little time at zero point for the myth that you can release from AC current to be accurate. Anything in the path of the current is gone, and you're only going to pull yourself free using unaffected muscles. On the opposite side, 50/60Hz is too low for reactance or skin effect to make it behave significantly different from straight DC. Simply put, anything beyond 40-50V needs to be treated as potentially lethal, regardless of whether it is AC or DC, and that's all there is to it. The one advantage AC electricity has over DC in terms of safety is that it's much easier to zero quench in a circuit breaker. That's not to say it cannot be done, it's just more expensive to do it.
If it's 100% electric drive, then it's a turbo-electric drive train, not a hybrid drive train. In order to be a hybrid, you need two or more types of motor directly providing motive force.
The development of a corona (surrounding plasma) is dependent on the electric field, but wouldn't discrete discharges be specific to the pulsing AC field? I would expect DC to just produce a constant, muted glow, rather than flashes.
AC won a hundred years ago, because DC voltage conversion and circuit termination was difficult a hundred years ago. These days, the only reason to stick with AC transmission is due to the legacy install base.
That's why you buy drives in different batches from different retailers, and cycle them in at different times, to reduce your odds that any two drives will be at a similar wear level and fail simultaneously.
The FUD that was raised a few years ago about "the death of RAID5" was because most consumer drives were rated at a mean time between bit errors of more than 10^14 bits, or 12.5TB. When re-silvering a multi-TB array, it was becoming statistically likely that you might run into one of these, which on RAID5 means a loss of data. Loss of any data is a bad thing, but the FUD from these articles was that it would result in a loss of all data. The "RED" drives you see on the market are no different from standard hard drives, except their firmware will give up trying to recover such a read error after just a few seconds, before low end RAID systems have a chance to kick the drive out due to unresponsiveness.

Besides, everyone knows babies don't get a soul until they're around a year old. Until then, they're just this gooey, pooing monster thing...

True. If you have any form of useful external control, that control can be abused.
Ground loops can be very hazardous. They don't want any hot wires besides the mains they expect to be hot.
Dataport behind a locked door that only a few select individuals have access to. Industrial systems must be protected against their operators.

and whose deaths will be on your head.
I just had an image of kills being tattooed onto the side of Jenny McCarthy's head, like a fighter aircraft.
I saw that in a movie once, something about stealing a Russian ICBM, and there was Soulfinger!
Did they have an inordinate number of cooling fans?

Sure you can. Nature calls it a "measles outbreak".
It goes even further than that. When the virus is allowed to propagate among even a small percentage of the population, there is a chance for that virus to mutate in a manner that renders the vaccine less effective, putting everyone at risk.
Presumably, that live video feed would be sent over... radio signals.
Reading the article, it seems it's a "series hybrid"... aka, not-a-hybrid. It's just simple turbo-electric.
